 The secandary bootstrap arg should be an absolute path
 in the specified file system.
 (otherwise you can't installboot unmounted file system)
 
 You don't have to include a current mount point of it, i.e.
 "installboot -v /dev/rsd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx /boot"
 should work even if the file system is mounted on /mnt.
